IIRC, there is already a framebuffer backend for Gdk/Gtk.  I'm not
sure how much work would be required to use it from Mono.

No, it does not.  But your original question referred to Winforms,
which does very much depend on X11.  If you don't use the Winforms
assembly or Gtk# (or any other such widget toolkit) then Mono runs
just fine without X.
